CRE // Tech Will Now Become Part of News Funnel, Creating The Largest News And Event Platform In The Real Estate Tech Industry

NEW YORK CITY, JANUARY 17 2017 -- The News Funnel, the largest content platform in the real estate industry, announced today the acquisition of CRE // Tech. Launched in 2013 by Pierce Robert Neinken, CRE // Tech (cretech.com) has become the leading global community focused on emerging and innovative technologies in the commercial real estate (CRE) space. CRE // Tech consistently produces sold-out events including the hugely popular Intersect Symposium in San Francisco and New York. The organization’s events bring together thousands of professionals and companies each year.

Neinken has spent the last decade working in the commercial real estate industry, most recently as a Director at CBRE and now at Airbnb as their Global Portfolio Manager. He started CRE // Tech in his nights and weekends with the hope of building a larger conversation about how emerging and innovative technologies are changing the commercial real estate business. Neinken will support the continued growth of CRE // Tech as a Strategic Advisor and Principal.

With aligned goals of bringing innovation to the real estate community, CRE // Tech provides tremendous synergy with The News Funnel and it’s sister site, Real Estate Tech News. Under The News Funnel’s leadership and increased investment, CRE // Tech will continue to expand their event platform, adding several new regional events, create more data-driven content and provide additional networking opportunities to bridge the real estate and tech communities like never before.

Michael Beckerman, Founder/CEO of News Funnel commented, “This is a milestone event in our site’s history. For me personally, I have long admired Pierce as a professional and visionary in the CRE tech space and the opportunity to now partner with him and his entire team is truly a fantastic opportunity to build the one content, networking and educational platform for the entire real estate tech ecosystem. Our goal is to create the single platform that connects the commercial real estate industry with the tech sector. Our team is thrilled to be working with Pierce and his organization and enormous volunteer infrastructure to build something meaningful and impactful for the industry at large.”
